of the Odua Democratic Coalition, a conglomeration of Yoruba inter-ethnic nationalities, have endorsed the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, as their candidate for the presidential election.

At the crowded Oyo Hall of the Airport Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, where the group held what it called inter-ethnic nationalities conference, with the theme, “Sustaining Transformational Democratic Norms,” the group unanimously agreed in a communiqué adopted by all present that President Jonathan was the most nationally acceptable candidate in the 2015 presidential race and ened all Yorubas to give him the desired to ensure that he is massively voted for in the election.

The group noted that the president has done very well in the last four years, transforming all sectors of the economy and appealed that nothing should be done to reverse the gains but to ensure that Jonathan was returned to office to improve on them and further move the nation forward.

The Special Assistant to the President on the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Mr. Kingsly Kuku, who was the special guest of honour and guest speaker at the occasion, thanked the group for their declared for the president.

The president, he said, has rigorously transformed the economy; the railways to make it work once again, revived the agricultural sector and has turned the auto industry around to make it possible to produce cars locally for the country and create jobs for the teaming unemployed youths.

On the prevailing insecurity situation in the country, Kuku blamed northern elders for their inaction in the matter, stating that in the course of the turmoil in the Niger Delta region then, the elders had taken it upon themselves to make them see reason and chart the path of peace, a thing the elders of the North have consistently neglected to do in the Boko Haram case.

While arguing that the president has the capacity to deal with the Boko Haram menace but has chosen not to deploy his full powers to avoid undue destruction of the areas, Kuku, who is also the Chairman of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, declared: “Only a people bring peace to a land, soldiers were in the Niger Delta for over seven years, no concrete solution was reached, of those years the soldiers engaged the militants in a duel, only women and children were dying, the military were losing men as well, daily oil production fell from about 2.3 million barrels a day to about 600,000 but the elders of the region braced the odds, went into the creeks to meet them and made them to embrace peace; today we are producing over 2.3 million barrels a day, in fact, we are working on raising it to 2.5 million.”

In a similar development, some Nigerians in Spain have ed a number of others in Europe in ing the re-election of President Jonathan.

The President of the Niger Delta Community Association in Spain, Mr. Bale Krile, has said the whole of Nigerians in the Diaspora are canvassing for votes for the president as his reelection would mean moving Nigeria forward instead of backwards.

“In recent state elections in the country so far, the president has represented himself as a true democrat.

He has always been willing to congratulate the winner when his party, the ruling PDP lost,” he said.

As a group from the Niger Delta region of the country, he said he was satisfied that the president is reported to have favoured the region of his origin the least.

This he pointed out is necessary for the unity of the country.
“What we hear of infrastructural development across Nigeria is very commendable,” Mr. Krile said. “We even understand that he has in no way favored his South-south zone in the distribution of projects and opportunities. This is good because it has demonstrated that the President is a detribalised Nigerian. This is the kind of leadership that Nigeria needs to progress in the 21st century.

“Anywhere in the world, infrastructural development is an ongoing programme. We believe that when he is re-elected he will consolidate on what he has done so far and move the country along the path of equitable and sustainable development.”

“Mr. President made us proud when the World Health Organisation declared the country Ebola free.”

Jonathan is definitely winning this election. I'm glad to be on winning team. Are you on the winning team?

That's good, They made the right choice; you don't expect them to endorse an illiterate Certificateless entity.
Yorubas are not illiterates...

Even dead people re feeling d impact of transformation agenda not to talk of d living. Any one dat says jona don't deserve anoda chance is a dead man

Seasons of endorsemet!
Na only Nairaland remain now.

The true sons of oduduwa have started speaking up.Aniefere faction one and two has ed the fresh air march.Odua peoples congress has ed the noble march all well meaning yourbas has ed the march not some disgruntled paid e.touts that litter this noble forum spamming it with their senseless trash

These are the real descendants of Oduduwa. Them sabi better thing. As for the NL wanna be yoruba impostors who claim that the SW won't vote GEJ, I leave your case to the gods.

Yes GEJ is my man mehn

Up GEJ

he doesn't need anybody endorsing him..... God has already done that


God bless Nigeria

God bless GEJ and those who want progress for this great nation

faceless groups endorsing a clueless president

Any educated or and independent thinking Yoruba man without crowd mentality will vote Jonathan. It's a known fact Buhari have a history of turturing Yorubas and sending them to prison.

List of people jailed by Buhari under different trumped up charges.

60% of them Yorubas (Buhari hate Yorubas), it's clear from the below.

97% of them from Southern Nigeria.

1. Fela Anikulapokuti (Fela, a musician was jailed for getting paid about £7,000 after he held a show in London). This's like jailing 2Face because he went to London and hosted a show and brought in £7,000 to Nigeria.
2. Chief Bisi Onabanjo
3. Chief Bola Ige
4. Chief Adekunle Ajasin
5 Chief Sam Mbakwe
6. Chief Ambrose Alli
7. Chief Apa Aku
8. Chief Jim Mwobodo
9. Chief L Kayode Jakande
10. Chief Alex Ekwueme
11. Chief Obafemi Awolowo (house in Apapa buggled and looted) Were these the theives?. Were these the troublers of our Nation.

Meanwhile:
Shehu Shgari (house arrest).
Akinloye (resting in London).
Chief Akinjide (resting in london).
Uba Ahmed (allowed to elope with our money to the USA.
Umaru Dikko (cooling self in London. Later his forceful extradition was sabotaged by insiders.
On on on and on...

That was how Buhari fought corruption. His interpretation of corruption is that only people from southern Nigeria are corrupt.

95% of those he jailed remained the symbol of democracy till they died. And it's their many years of labour on democracy that he wants to reap.

Buhari wants to reap where did not sow and I still can't believe that Yorubas could easily be deceived.

NB: I need more names of people jailed by Buhari and their offence. If you have them please post here.

Good to see dat tinubu has bin rejected by his own
